Still not quite ready to face Scott, Nancy went in to talk with Debbie.
"Do you like Scott?" she asked bluntly.
Debbie stared at her like her head had grown two sizes and then laughed. "Geez Nancy, that's some question."
"But do you?" Nancy prodded. "I really want to know."
Debbie sighed. "I'd say I have mixed feelings."
"So you… wouldn't want to say, get rid of him?"
Debbie's eyebrows shot up. "No way! He may be hard to deal with, but Scott's the best. Without him we'd be done."
Nancy thanked her and left, knowing that Debbie was lying.
